By Zane Miller Sports Editor

The Falcons football team lost to the Ohio Bobcats 48-30 in the team’s homecom- ing game on Saturday afternoon, as the team continues to get deeper into their Mid-American Conference opponent schedule. “I really feel like we did not take ad- vantage of our opportunities like we should have in the first half,” Falcons head coach Mike Jinks said. “With that, I was proud of our defensive ability to respond when we got the turnovers. They created ones of their own.” The Falcons got off to a promising start early, with a pair of field goals from junior kicker Jake Suder putting the team ahead 6-0. However, in the second quarter Ohio took the lead with a touchdown run and an extra point to go up 7-6. Less than two minutes later, the Falcons retook the lead, taking advantage of a pair of long rushes from freshman running back Andrew Clair, with Clair eventually punching it in for the touchdown. Midway through the second, Ohio returned an interception for a touch- down to regain the lead once again. How- ever, the Falcons continued the back-and- forth scoring with a Suder field goal to make it a 16-14 game. Ohio got the last score of PHOTO BY IAN CAMPBELL PHOTO BY KEVIN MENSAH the half with a rushing touchdown, taking a Freshman Andrew Clair rushes against Ohio.
